Never Get Into A Vehicle With A Stranger
There is no reason a child should ever get near an automobile, van, truck or other vehicle. To begin with, it is not safe for a child to be near a motor vehicle. Under certain lighting situations, in particular certan times of day when the sunlight is very bright, it can be extremely hard to see a small child walking in a parking lot.

Further, there is nothing in a vehicle for a child to go look at. Children must always stay away from a motor vehicle under all circumstances.
